CLEVELAND, Ohio – Say what you will about Canada, but our neighbor to the north has given us some great music over the past decade and a half.

Don't let a Canadian import like Justin Bieber blind you. These five albums have left a lasting imprint on the musical landscape of the 2000s:

Nelly Furtado – "Loose"

It might seem weird to put Nelly Furtado on this list, but "Loose," her third album, is as well produced as any album released during the last 10 years. The album, which was a huge success for Furtado, featured Timbaland at his absolute peak; producing massive club anthems like "Promiscuous" and "Maneater," while making room for subtler fare like "Showtime." This one amazes from start to finish.

F***** Up – "The Chemistry of Common Life"

On its surface, F***** Up's music seems like an angry form of punk rock that will make you tear up your room upon first listen. However, the band's work, especially 2008's "The Chemistry of Common Life," demands a closer listen. Like all great punk bands, F***** Up makes music that uses lyrical depth to create a world of vulnerability and raw emotion. The band will play Beachland Ballroom on July 9.

Broken Social Scene – "You Forgot It in People"

Before bands like Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade and F***** Up affirmed Canada as a breeding ground for great rock acts in the 2000s, Broken Social Scene put the country on the map. The band's 2002 Juno Award-winning debut was one of the most epic rock albums of the decade. The large group of musicians, which included a young Leslie Feist, crafted anthem upon anthem on an album that seems so effortlessly brilliant.

Drake – "Take Care"

With his first studio album, "Thank Me Later," Drake cashed in on the hype generated by his amazing mixtape "So Far Gone." However his sophomore effort, "Take Care," is the Canadian rapper's true masterwork. It's the album where Drake seems the most like himself – a lyrically gifted, emotional mess who stays up late while drunk-dialing girls, and crafting awesome acronyms like HYFR and YOLO. It's the closest Drake has come to being all things to all people.

Arcade Fire – "Funeral"

You could probably argue that all four of Arcade Fire's studio albums belong on this list. For now, we'll settle on saying the band's debut is as good as it gets. Arcade Fire has certainly evolved into one of the biggest and most respected acts in the world. However, the band's 2004 debut still holds a special place in fans' hearts as a little album that made a huge impact. "Funeral" is an emotionally-driven effort about the journey that comes with finding one's place in the world. It didn't matter if it was Canada or Uzbekistan; this was something to behold.

Honorable mention:

Feist – "The Reminder"

Death From Above 1979 – "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine"

Tegan and Sara – "The Con"

Crystal Castles – "Crystal Castles"

Hot Hot Heat – "Make Up The Breakdown"

Wolf Parade – "Apologies to the Queen Mary"

New Pornographers – "Mass Romantic"
